Verses converted to UTF-8, Nov 09

Introduction

The king-makers request Bharata to take over Ayodhya kingdom. Bharata refuses to do
so and promises to bring back Rama to Ayodhya and make him only as the king. Bharata further orders
for construction of a path-way to reach the forest.

Hearing these words, the people there along with council and the ministers felt
cheerful, being relieved of their anxiety and spoke the following words : "As per your command,
devoted men and a group of artisans have been instructed to make the path-way."
